This document provides an overview of how vulnerable social high-risk groups are tracked and mobilized in Uttar Pradesh – who are these vulnerable social groups, their specific characteristics and traits, key heath determinants etc. Based on experiences and field observations, three major vulnerable social high-risk groups have been identified in this document – nomads, slum dwellers and migrants. The document is a primer for district level functionaries of the SMNet and helps build their understanding of these groups, for planning and implementing specific interventions so as to ensure all children under 5 years from these groups and communities are vaccinated against polio.
